Meta exits RE100 amid rising gas capacity

Friends, I’d like to share an update from the world of technology and data center infrastructure.

Meta has confirmed its exit from RE100, the initiative focused on reaching 100% renewable energy. The company had been a member for about 10 years, and Meta said the split was mutual.

At the same time, Meta is increasing its reliance on natural gas to power AI data centers and has funded the construction of at least a dozen gas-fired plants over the past year.

The company still says it remains committed to clean energy and offsets consumption through certificates and renewable energy purchases.

Why it matters: AI demand for power is rising, and the debate over what counts as “clean” energy is becoming increasingly practical.

Do you think companies should move to hourly matching rather than annual accounting?
